<P>Today's Challenge<P></P></P>
<P>What is Mary studying?<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation A<P></P></P>
<P>(Anna, Sam and Sierra are standing outside the coffee shop, which is closed. Albert walks up.)<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: Good morning, everybody.<P></P></P>
<P>Others: Good morning, Albert.<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: Hey, why isn't the coffee shop open yet? Where? Nancy?<P></P></P>
<P>Anna: I don't know. She's 10 minutes late! But I'm sure she'll be here soon.<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: I hope so!<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: Me, too. I have an important article to write today. I need coffee!<P></P></P>
<P> (They all look in the window.)<P></P></P>
<P> (Nancy opens the doors from inside the coffee shop. A young woman is with her.)<P></P></P>
<P>Nancy: Come in, everyone. Sorry I'm late. I overslept this morning! <P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation B<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: Wow, Nancy, you never sleep late! Are you feeling OK?<P></P></P>
<P>Nancy: I'm fine. I just stayed up late helping Mary with her homework. You all remember my niece Mary from New York, right?<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: Yes. Hi, Mary, it's nice to see you again. You're here studying fashion now, right?<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: That's right. <P></P></P>
<P>Sam: So, Nancy, you were helping Mary with her fashion homework?<P></P></P>
<P>Nancy: (happily) Yes, I was!<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation C<P></P></P>
<P>Nancy: Mary has to give fashion makeovers to three people. <P></P></P>
<P>Mary: I have to take "before" and "after" pictures of each person. Then I have to explain to my class why I chose the styles I did.<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: That sounds like fun!<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Oh, it is!<P></P></P>
<P>Nancy: Yes, it's fun. But there's one problem.<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: What?<P></P></P>
<P>Nancy: Her homework is due this afternoon! And Mary still has to do two more makeovers!<P></P></P>
<P><P></P><P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P> DON'T SAY: I oversleeped.<P></P></P>
<P> DO SAY: I overslept.<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>What Do You Remember?<P></P></P>
<P>1. Why wasn't the shop open on time?<P></P></P>

<P>Today's Challenge<P></P></P>
<P>What would look great on Sam?<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation A<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: So, Mary, who else will you give makeovers to?<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Well . . . Aunt Nancy said some of you could help me.<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: Us?!<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: Oh, she did, did she? <P></P></P>
<P>Nancy: Sam, please? Mary needs your help!<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: I need to write an article today. I don't have time for a fashion makeover! And I don? want one!<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Are you sure? I have a sweater that would look great on you!<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation B<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Aunt Nancy and I have already chosen outfits for each of you!<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: That sounds like fun!<P></P></P>
<P>Anna: But Albert and I have to go to work soon.<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: And I have Chinese class.<P></P></P>
<P> (Mary looks at her watch.)<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Well . . . how much time do you have?<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: Anna, Sierra and I all leave here around 7:30 every day. We only have 15 more minutes!<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Oh, no! What am I going to do?<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation C<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: Well . . . I can miss class just once.<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Great, thanks!<P></P></P>
<P>Nancy: And Sam, you don't have to go anywhere. Please help!<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: No! And can you please bring me a latte? (takes out his computer and starts to work)<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Well, Sierra, I'll start with you.<P></P></P>
<P>Anna: This is fun! Albert, we can at least watch for a few minutes.<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: OK. Mary, can you start by finding Sierra a better shirt? The one she's wearing is just?</P>
<P>Sierra: Albert!<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P><P></P><P></P></P>

<P>Today's Challenge<P></P></P>
<P>Which part of Sierra? new outfit does Anna like best?<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation A<P></P></P>
<P>(10 minutes later)<P></P></P>
<P>Anna: Albert, we'd better go.<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: In a minute. I want to see Sierra's outfit!<P></P></P>
<P>Anna: OK. I do, too!<P></P></P>
<P> (Mary and Sierra come out of the back room. Sierra is wearing a different outfit.)<P></P></P>
<P>Anna: Wow, nice outfit! Good job, Mary!<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Thanks.<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: It's better than the strange clothes Sierra usually wears!<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: (laughs) Oh, Sam! Sierra's other outfit was in style, too. But this is just a different style for her to try.<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: Yes. And I really like it!<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation B<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: So will you buy some clothes like that now?<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: Yes. Mary and I are going shopping tomorrow!<P></P></P>
<P>Anna: I really like the pants.<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: Me, too. <P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Now I just need to take a picture of you. <P></P></P>
<P>Nancy: Did you remember to take Sierra's "before" picture?<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Yes, Aunt Nancy.<P></P></P>
<P>Nancy: Well, you forgot about the makeovers until last night!<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Oh, Aunt Nancy!<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation C<P></P></P>
<P>(Mary gets ready to take the picture.)<P></P></P>
<P>Nancy: Mary?<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Yes?<P></P></P>
<P>Nancy: You did forget something. Isn't the outfit supposed to have different jewelry? <P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Oh, you're right! And different shoes. I forgot to get those for Sierra.<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: That's OK. We can finish my makeover later. You can do Sam first.<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: Forget it! Do Anna.<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: But I need a guy.<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: So use Albert!<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: Uh, sorry but we really don't have time.<P></P></P>
<P><P></P><P></P><P></P><P></P></P>

<P>Today's Challenge<P></P></P>
<P>What does Sierra think Ellen might like?<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation A<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: You seem to have plenty of time to watch everyone else? makeovers!<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: Hmm, you're right. (looks at his watch) I guess if you hurry, Mary, you can give me a makeover, too.<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Thanks! And, Anna, I did find a really cute dress that should fit you. <P></P></P>
<P>Anna: I thought you only needed three people.<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Yes. But if I do more, the teacher might give me an even better grade!<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation B<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Can you two get dressed quickly? Maybe I can give you makeovers before you have to leave.<P></P></P>
<P>Anna: Oh, OK. You're so excited, we just can't say "no" to you!<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Thanks! <P></P></P>
<P> (Mary, Anna and Albert go into the back room.)<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: I can't believe Albert is getting a fashion makeover. What? wrong with his T-shirt and pants?<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: Nothing. But he's often willing to help people. He's a nice guy.<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: And I'm not?<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: Well . . . <P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation C<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: I think Ellen might like it if you wore more fashionable clothes.<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: What?!<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: I mean, your clothes are OK. They're just . . . kind of boring. <P></P></P>
<P>Sam: Maybe I like boring clothes!<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: You could at least try the ones Mary brought. You might like them! And maybe Ellen would, too.<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: Well . . . OK, fine. I guess I can.<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: Great!<P></P></P>
<P><P></P><P></P></P>

<P>Today's Challenge<P></P></P>
<P>What does Sierra like?<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation A<P></P></P>
<P>(Anna and Albert come out wearing different outfits. Albert's is a little strange.)<P></P></P>
<P>Anna: The dress Mary brought didn't fit. But this skirt does. Do you like it?<P></P></P>
<P>Nancy: Yes, it's really nice!<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: And what do you think of my outfit? <P></P></P>
<P>Mary: It's really in style right now!<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: Uh . . . it's a little . . . <P></P></P>
<P>Anna: Strange.<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: Yes, strange! Maybe I don't want a makeover after all.<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: We know. You keep telling us that!<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: But I just got him to agree to one!<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation B<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: I don't know what's wrong with you all. I like my outfit.<P></P></P>
<P>Anna: Uh, OK, Albert. Just don't wear it to work!<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: I won't. Mary has to take all these clothes back to the store. After she takes our pictures.<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: Anyway, why do you think it's strange? Don't you like the jacket? <P></P></P>
<P>Albert: Yes! And the belt is really cool.<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: Uh, sure, Albert.<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P>Conversation C<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: I do like the jeans. Do you have jeans that style that would fit Sam?<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: No.<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: Besides, I'm not trying anything new. Ellen likes me the way I am!<P></P></P>
<P> (Sam? cell phone rings. He answers it. The others keep talking.)<P></P></P>
<P>Mary: I need to take your pictures, then you can go. (starts taking Anna's and Albert's pictures) Thanks so much for doing this!<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: No problem.<P></P></P>
<P> (Sam hangs up.)<P></P></P>
<P>Sierra: Who was that?<P></P></P>
<P>Sam: Ellen. (looking embarrassed) She wants to take me shopping for some new clothes!<P></P></P>
<P>Albert: Well, Sam, I guess you don't need Mary. You have someone else to do your makeovers!<P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P><P></P><P></P></P>
<P><P></P></P>
<P> DON'T SAY: This outfit is very fashion.<P></P></P>
<P> DO SAY: This outfit is very fashionable.<P></P></P>
